Ty LeBar's Career at the YMCA, and the Impact of Sports on the Local Community.

In this episode of the Dream Catcher podcast, I speak with Ty LaBar, the Associate Executive Director at the YMCA in Hastings. Ty has lived in Hastings all of his life. He was homeschooled through high school, attended CCC and then graduated from Hastings College. He lived at home through college and stayed in Hastings because his family started a lawn business when he was in high school. He managed the business until it was sold it in 2024, so 16 years. Ty interned at the YMCA when he was at Hastings College and in 2015 started full time as sports director after he graduated in 2016. He is now the Associate Executive Director where he manages the sports and membership departments as well as payroll. He loves his hometown and loves that his work gets to positively impact the lives of people in the community that he deeply cares about.
